Operational Impact
Future Grid's platform increased data transaction rates significantly using minimal hardware. | |
The platform provided real-time time series visualization, allowing engineering teams to act on data promptly. | |
The integration of Hazelcast IMDG and Apache Cassandra maintained high availability and horizontal scalability while delivering performance 1000x faster than disk-based approaches. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Future Grid's solution was 1200% faster in a three-month pilot, reducing insight output time from 2 hours to 10 minutes. | |
The platform reduced infrastructure costs by $10 million, using only $40,000 of hardware compared to the $10 million required for traditional relational databases. | |
